Hi,

It has already been concluded that we want to get rid of a few data resources for GIMP 2.8 and also that this requires a mechanism to support backwards compatibility for scripts that uses the soon-to-be-removed resources.

The attached patch makes resources which have "gimp-obsolete-files" as part of the path considered obsolete and will not be part of any of the traditional resource management. We make the assumption/have the requirement that obsolete resources are not added, removed or changed during a running GIMP session.

To test the patch, do

  $ cd $prefix/share/gimp/2.0/brushes/
  $ mkdir gimp-obsolete-files
  $ mv Circle-* gimp-obsolete-files
  $ mv gimp-obsolete-files/Circle-*19* .

then run GIMP and look at the brushes in the UI. Only the largest Circle* brushes are available. But you can still execute File -> Create -> Logos -> Frosty.. which uses "Circle Fuzzy (11)".

Any comments on the proposed way to deal with obsolete resources?

 / Martin

Subject: [PATCH] app: Support obsolete data resources

Add support for having obsolete data resources. An obsolete resource
is not shown in the UI or managed in any way, but it will be
considered when plug-ins requests resources. This in order to maintain
backwards compatibility for plug-ins.
